We Ride at Dawn
February 8, 2008 · Filed Under Uncategorized
Alarm sounds… after six hours on the pillow in lala land I slid outta bed an eye balled the skies. Nothing but blue skies… well as much as I could tell as it was still dark out. Jumped into my super sexy CSC kit and checked the phone: No SMS from the “Hawk” (names with held to protect the innocent).
As Hawk wasn’t meeting me for a tempo cruise it was time to get Heath (System Six) ready which required the saddle bag hooked up and the tyre inflated to the required 120psi. A new battery into the tail light (still darkish) and I was off. Today’s plan was the River ride, if your in Brisbane it’s what most cyclist in Brissy do on a Friday.
I trundled along at a good pace not hurting leg legs and after 25k’s I was getting bored with my own thoughts. This lead me to ripp out the Nokia and test out the 2MG camera as I’ve been looking into buying a small form digital camera as my current Canon 3SIS is a bit too big to haul around in the back pocket.
These lads provided me with a wheels to suck for a few k’s, it soon turned into a pace line smash fest which worked well for me and didn’t hurt as much as I expected. Got to Cemetery hill and decided I was feeling good to rode up it in 53 ~ 23. I won’t be making that mistake again and put it down to a brain fade and over ambitious considering my current fitness level.
I’m hoping to improve on my camera while riding skills, The pics aren’t too bad considering it’s a phone cam.
